About

I was born in a small town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I love being surrounded by nature; and by nature I mean trees, birds chirping overhead, leaves rustling in a continuous dance, and the random morning greeting to a strolling black bear. The nature I am surrounded by currently is filled with people, birds, squirrels, and the occasional neighborhood cat. I miss those hidden pathways and the clear air.

Long winters led to a love of reading, writing, storytelling, and magic. Like many, I have trained under those gifted with knowledge and experience, loving the challenge of discovery. This call that I have answered, the call of knowledge, has led to the completion of two Master’s degrees in English and Liberal Studies, and a lifetime of knowledge gathering.
